New York Jets: Joe Flacco is ready to take on a support role with Sam Darnold

The New York Jets have signed Joe Flacco to a deal, but why him (with a severe neck injury) instead of Cam Newton as backup for Sam Darnold?

The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported.

The signing of Joe Flacco by the New York Jets was a fantastic move to back up Sam Darnold in his development. Darnold has yet to play a full 16 games over his first two seasons in the NFL, missing three games in 2019 due to mono.
